The Mike

The more i see nexus, the less i watch. i stopped watchn raw because of nexus, i guess ill stop watchn smackdown now that nexus holds the tag titles. Every single person in nexus sucks, except cena, which i respect as a damn good wrestler from day one in wwe but, not a fan of. all nexus is, is a bunch of no-name pussies that cant fight one on one without all their butt buddies jumping in to help.

mothra

scott

im so glad i stopped ordering these PPV’s…i can see it now, the “tag” titles can be defended by any combination of Nexus…how original…i can’t believe the writers are actually getting paid to write this crap! mark it down, Taker vs. Brock won’t happen, but Taker vs. Nexus…i can see it now…god help us!

annonymous

Forget the nexus part.. The PPV was lousy..
Ok except the opener…
– LayCool win proves nothing for a crap division..
– Cena and Nexus as tag champs in a unadvertised match? The tag belts have meant nothing for a long time..
– Dibiase n Goldust were a throw together match..
– Edge n Mysterio are already established performers so there win in the Elimination doesnt build anything. The win shouldve been given to a less established person..
– Cena/Barrett n Orton was predictable..
– Buried Alive match was a repeat of the McMahon/Taker buried alive match of years ago.. Someone interferes, throws Taker into the grave, then the bulldozer gets used…
Predictable and lousy booking…

Ballsack

K Law

How is Nexus lame? They are just like any other stable? NWO… DX… The Nation… Undertaker needs surgery which is why Nexus helped Kane win… All Buried Alive matches have had interference… Kane got involved during Stone Cold vs. Undertaker… Triple H got involved during The Rock and Mankind vs. Big Show and Undertaker… The Executioner got involved during The Undertaker vs. Mankind and Kane got involved during the Undertaker vs. Vince McMahon, so don’t act like you didn’t see this coming if you know anything about the history of a Buried Alive Match…

And Nexus is proving that no show is safe from them. Nexus is maybe an angle but they are still a stable like all other stables before in WWE…

I didn’t order the pay per view but it sounded okay to me.

i see the difference between groups like DX, NWO, NATION, EVOLUTION, MEM is most the wrestlers in those groups were allready had established character and career before they joined a group vs nexus who which nobody knew. I respect your view though k law, i just do not like the nexus and the storyline. Kane didnt need nexus help.
